Robotics Revolution: AI leaves the screen.
Modern AI models are giving robots eyes, language and judgment. The result: machines that can work in the messy physical world.
Quick answer
What is the robotics revolution?
It is the shift from single-purpose factory robots to general-purpose machines — humanoids, mobile manipulators and autonomous vehicles — powered by modern AI models that can see, plan and learn.

Questions, answered
Will humanoid robots replace workers?
Near term they are pilots for narrow tasks. The bigger change is gradual: robots absorbing dull, dirty and dangerous work while demand shifts elsewhere.
